Question

give scientific reason metallic character goes on decreasing while going from left to right in a period​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metal has the ability to lose an electron. When an electron is added then the size of atom goes decreasing due to nuclear pull which ultimately makes metals difficult to lose electrons. Hence metallic character decreases while going from left to right in a period.

Answer 2

Question

give scientific reason metallic character goes on decreasing while going from left to right in a period​

Answer:

metallic character goes on decreasing while going from left to right in a period​

• because the tendency of atoms of the elements to lose electrons (or gain electrons) changes in a period.
• As we move from left to right in a period, the nuclear charge increases due to a gradual increase in the number of protons.
